London Baby!!!!!

So i went to London yesterday for the day. Although there are so many amanzing places to see, and i would like to go back for a show, London is not somewhere that gave me a "wow! I love this place!" feeling. It was too...dare i even say it...British? and so many people! And the Tube was confusing...
So anyway, will post pics in order of trip...

And now for the grand finally! The best bit of the whole trip in my opinion!
Shakespeares Globe! This is the reason why i would love to return to london. Just to see a show preformed here. Wouldnt it be amazing to sit in a Theatre that is practically an exact likeness of the original! Thank You Sam Wanamaker!

I love those two that you caught in the picture. It is so funny that you caught both of them looking right at you, whereas most people ignore the ones with the cameras. :)

Wow! Those are gorgeous! I've been to London twice, once for a whole week, and another time just overnight. Even though I was there for a week, I didn't see as much as you did, though. I could kick myself now.

I don't think I could live in London - too big - but it's a fascinating city, I think.

I'm hoping my husband and I can go to Italy, especially Florence, this summer, but it's dependent on finances.

Beautiful photos! :)

Beautiful pictures Niamh. I enjoyed London very much when I was there.

I liked your koala bear IJustMadeThatUp.

Wow, I love the black and white Niamh. You've just made me add London to the top of my must see list with Japan. Where else have you travelled? Do you already have those pics up? If not, share please! I have a bad case of the travel bug, but it feels as though my feet are stuck in concrete blocks.

Oh and thanks Virgil. I waste so much "Work time" taking pictures... Some have surely got to turn ok... Right?

Oh i like to travel. I havent been many places outside of Europe, but i was in your land back in Sept. I have cool piccys of Koalas and Turtles from Turanga Zoo.
Obviously i've been to many places in Ireland. I've been to scotland (Oban, Mallaig, Fort William(and Places around there), Inverness, Greenock, Turriff, Banff, Aberdeen, Tomintoul, Braemar and Edinburgh), England (Worcester, Lincoln, Nottingham, Birmingham, London (and area), Reading, Stratford Upon Avon, Newcastle, Haltwhistle, Bristol and a few other places... names forgotten), Italy (Vantamiglia<sp?>, Milan, Rome, Florence, Brindisi), France (Roscoff, Chartres, Frejus-St Raphel, Cannes, St Tropez) Monacco, Grand Caneria, Belgium (Brussels, Leuven)... think thats it...
Outside Europe I've been to Australia (Sydney, Cairns, Airlie and the Whitsundays) New Zealand (Auckland, Waipu) and Singapore.
Still plenty of places i have to see!
And there are pics of some of these in this thread. :)
